Im Allergic

Epinephrine injector (including Epipens, a name brand) inject epinephrine, a type of adrenaline, to help treat some of the symptoms of anaphylaxis. However, it does not stop anaphylaxis. It is an emergency (first response) treatment that helps counters some of the life threatening reactions. Mainly it helps open airways and boosts oxygen levels . Thus emergency services still need to be called

The other ingredients sodium chloride, sodium metabisulphite, hydrochloric acid, and water.

If it is possible HOW do you get over it permanently? Or does it just come naturally?

Most changes in allergies come from outgrowing them, though it is possible to acclimate yourself to the thing you’re allergic to to reduce the ill-effects. My husband and I went from one to 2 to 4 cats in our home, and once we had 4, he started having reactions. He took 24 hr Zyrtec at the same time every day, and we kept the house immaculately clean. He eventually got used to the cats, and needed the pills less and less. Now he doesn’t take it at all and he’s fine around them all.

i am allergic as crazy as it sounds to heat or activity and the other day i broke out while running and had to go to the hospital

uhh no.. not that kind of allergy. lots of daily activities include getting hot.. PT for one.

Via medicine, substance, etc.

highly unlikely, but it is possible. some people have an anaphylactic reaction to rubber products, so someone could be exposed to rubber, then eat right away and the shock reaction could seem like a food reaction.

Please help! thanks

It kicks your body into fight, or flight response. Constricts the blood vessels and dilates the airways.
Gives you the feeling that you are invincible.

Stay away from anything that causes it. Always have any medication you need to reverse anaphylaxis near you and educate people that are frequently around you about what you are sensative to and what to do if a reaction occurs.

I think I might be allergic to my daughter’s new puppy. My skin itches in random places at random times or if I hold her, then my arm and wrist itch, or if she plays at my feet and jumps on my legs, then my legs and feet itch, or if I snuggle her under my chin, then my chin itches. I can’t bear the thought of not handling her, she’s too cute. I also can’t bear the thought of giving her away ’cause we’ve all fallen in love with her. She’s already a big part of the family. I do not take medications on a daily basis and don’t want to start. I only take the occasional headache medicine. I used to be allergic to cats when I was younger and I got over that ’cause now I have three indoor-only cats. I wonder if it’s possible that I might just get over this puppy allergy, too. Any ideas?

I am guessing this itchiness does not last otherwise you would be itching all over and insane by now. So I would say if you FEEL like you can live with it then you can. I would suggest washing up after holding the dog, by getting the dander off of you it might lessen the itching. I would also give the dog fish oil mixed in with it’s food it will reduce dander a bit and could probably help you. (As well as improve the dog’s skin quality.. never a bad thing for a dog.)

We have a lovely large garden in France (where we live) and once a year family come to visit, but our poor niece suffers terribly from hay fever, so cannot get much pleasure from being here!

My husband is keen to create a "friendly" garden especially for her, but cannot find the information anywhere, but knows there are some.

Can anyone help?

I suffer from hay fever quite badly, and know the worst times for hay fever is between early June and early August.

But what is the earliest possible time of the year that grass pollen becomes airborne, and what is the latest possible time of the year that it vanishes, in the London area?

Would like to know, so I can start taking remedies for it as early as possible.

If you are allergic to grass pollen the peak period is mid to late May until about the middle of July. If you are also allergic to tree or flower pollen you will get some degree of allergic reaction from March to September, much reduced during periods of wet weather

Is it possible to get hay fever at this time of year.Think I’ve got it.Must have because I have Antihistamines and it goes away when I take them.I have always associated hay fever with the earlier months of the year.

It is. I’ve suffered from hay fever for many years, quite badly too. I have the symptoms for half the year (April – September) with it being worse in and around June.

The main pollen that 90% of hay fever sufferers are sensitive too is grass pollen with most sufferers exclusively allergic to this pollen. Some sufferers (15-20%) are also allergic to certain tree pollens. These different pollens are airborne at different times of the year for different periods so you may suffer at different times of the year to someone else with hay fever.

Bottom line is, as long as the grass grows, no one with hay fever is safe!
